    The second event in the Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events for 2021 will be the Marty Brown Memorial Open Round #2 on August 21st in Zionsville, IN. MBMO #2 will focus on pistol marksmanship instruction and will generally follow a limited version of our Pistol 100 course of instruction (e.g., this will not be a full Pistol 100 event but we expect to include a significant portion of our typical Pistol 100 instruction). Participants of all experience levels are invited to attend.

    The Marty Brown Memorial events celebrate the life of Marty Brown, an instructor with Revere's Riders, who passed away after a 40-month long battle with ovarian cancer. Since Marty's passing in 2017, Revere's Riders instructors and volunteers have gathered in her memory; in 2019, we began the Marty Brown Memorial series of events to spread awareness of ovarian cancer and raise money to support the ovarian cancer services of Ovar'coming Together, a 501(c)3 non-profit in Indianapolis and the one of the first ovarian cancer specific non-profit organizations in the country.

    To date, Revere's Riders has raised over $30,000 in donations to Ovar'coming Together. Last year, our donations were critical in keeping many of Ovar'coming Together's programs viable in the face of the negative impact of COVID-19 on their other donations.

    The MBMO events feature silent auctions, skills contests, and give-aways of an assortment of firearms related and other items. We have a TON of great items for MBMO #2 including firearms, riflescopes, red dots, gunsmithing tools, backpacks and cases, and much more! See the complete details on the 2021 Marty Brown Memorial Open Round #2 Swag Bags, Give Aways, Prizes, Auctions page of the Revere's Riders website.

    Come and join us for a fun day at the range with a great group of people! You'll probably learn some marksmanship tips (even if you're pretty experienced), get some marksmanship practice, get a chance at winning some great items in the silent auction and skills contest, and maybe even walk away with a give-away item!

    Tickets can be purchased on the Revere's Riders website: https://www.reveresriders.org/event/2021-aug-21-zionsville-in/

    And you get to spend a day on the range with our knowledgeable instructors to boot!

    Tickets are available now but we anticipate a sell-out due to the proximity of this event to Indianapolis, the popularity of our pistol training classes, and the extensive list of great products above. Get your ticket now so you aren't disappointed later when the event sells out.

    Less than three weeks before this one.
    Come on out and enjoy a day of pistol shooting very close to Indy (Zionsville).
    Ridiculously good odds at leaving with something fantastic prize wise and 100% certain leaving with supporting the fight against cancer.
    Skills tests are certainly not always won by the ‘best’ shooters either….you could even leave with a new gun or two!

    We still have spots on the line for this one but you will need to get your ticket before 8/14 when the price goes up by $25. We raised $4,300 at the Marty Brown Memorial Open #1 in June and we want to beat that number for Open #2!

    Come join us for a great day at the range and go home with one of our give-aways (EVERY paid participant will receive an item; you might go home with a SCCY CPX-2 pistol worth more than the ticket price!) plus get a chance to win additional items in the skills contest and bid on items in the silent auction.

    We have TWO more SCCY CPX-2 pistols (one will be given away to the winner of the skills contest and another will be in silent auction), a certificate for a Glock pistol, several $175 Kitanica and $100 A&A Optics gift cards, etc. See the full list of items at the 2021 Marty Brown Memorial Open Round #2 Swag Bags, Give Aways, Prizes, Auctions page of the Revere's Riders website.

    I'm in! These are very fun. I can say with confidence that this is one of my favorite ranges to hold an event. Crazy convenient for anyone in central indiana but it would be worth the drive from about anywhere.

    Having found out a bit more about the event, I cannot imagine not wanting to participate. If you are available, sign up. I doubt you will have any regrets.

    We are going to have a TON of items in our silent auction at this event. ANYONE can bid on the silent auction items, you do NOT need to be an event participant. Peruse the current list of items on the 2021 Marty Brown Memorial Open Round #2 Swag Bags, Give Aways, Prizes, Auctions page of the Revere's Riders website.

    You DO need to present to pay for your silent auction item, however.

    Come on by towards the end of the day to check out the silent auction items and see what a Revere's Riders event is all about. Who knows, you may end with a great deal from our silent auction and a hankering to come to one of our upcoming events!

    As of Friday August 13th, we have sold 29 of 30 tickets for MBMO #2! After some discussion of the logistics necessary to accommodate more participants, we have added 10 additional tickets for this event.

    Note that regular ticket pricing ends tonight; our "late" ticket pricing ($150 vs. $125) goes into effect starting Saturday, August 14th. Get you ticket before the end of the day on August 13th to avoid having to pay extra.

    Thank you to all who have stepped up to participate in the 2021 Marty Brown Memorial Open Round #2! We sincerely appreciate it during these difficult times.

    Though in one of the rounds, I had two shots inside the center circle, but opposite one another at like 45 and 225 degrees. If you averaged the two, it was a perfect shot!

    We have had a lot of classes over the years. I can honestly say I've never been a part of a pistol class with a more "sorted out" group of shooters. It took some impressive shooting (or 1 really lucky shot) to win these skips challenges.
